ARTreach participates in a church outreach mission to Uganda
January 08, 2008 By: Terri Bieber Category: Missions Outreach
ARTreach director Vickie McMillan shares painting techniques with citizens in Uganda. Her program combines missions outreach with the arts. This was a unique ARTreach parternship with David Stockwell Evangelistic Association (DSEA). Vickie utilized the arts as way to translate and communicate new ideas to students in school communities in Kampala.
The DSEA team of five completed its mission campaign in Kampala, Uganda, July 10-July 26, 2007. Working with local pastors and DSEA’s NEST Evangelist coordinator for Uganda, Apollo, the team had the privilege of preaching the Gospel to thousands of students in the Kampala area through DSEA’s School Assembly Program, David Stockwell Speaks Out. This was the first mission DSEA has hosted in Kampala, and the groundwork was also being laid for future ministry there.
The team hosted an Evangelism Training Conference for about 300 local pastors, evangelists and Christian workers at Kisaasi Fire Centre Church. A local Ugandan praise team led worship along with Amy Stockwell; messages by David Stockwell, Chad and Vickie McMillan and Sean Stockwell on Spiritual Warfare, Brokenness, A Passion For Souls, Creative Methods in Evangelism, Reaching Youth for Christ, and others encouraged attendees.
